If Christian men would be REAL men, the world just may get reached and families just might have the victory with a warrior at the helm instead of some wimpy, milk toast excuse for a man who is afraid that sin will "get" him and is afraid of the devil and his own shadow.

Men certainly don't have to get Harley's and ride and dress like I did. But they DO need to be the men that God called them to be and the men I see in the Bible were a man's man.

Why is it that many women are attracted to "bad" boys? Is it because they like the sense of adventure these men exude? The free spirit in them? The warrior they see inside?

If the warrior inside Christian men can be focused on accomplishing things for God (including at work and play) within the confines of His word...

It is nonsense. Look, here is a guy who plays a flute, lamenting over manliness in Christians. I never seen ultra conservative Apostolics having a problem with manliness. Maybe a little too much testosterone at times, but no problems with manliness. Now the Calvary Chapel, or Charismatic Trinitarian enablers seem to have a little sugar in their tank at times. But, that is because of an extreme pendulum swing. MOW, when he posted here hardline anti-conservative Apostolic. So, if the ultra cons are more masculine, then the opposite should be true for the flute playing Charismatic? But instead of doing ultra con standards, MOW’s logic is to look like the leather guy in the Village People:heeheehee? I’ll pass.
